TCRA Communications Manager, Innocent Mungy The Tanzania Communications Regulatory Authority (TCRA) has reiterated that the exercise of switching off analogue broadcasting system across the country will officially be completed at the end of October this year. TCRA Communications Manager, Innocent Mungy told The Guardian in an interview that Phase two of the exercise is progressing well and has seen Singida, Tabora, Morogoro and Iringa regions being digitalised. Despite the migration, he said, in some areas the exercise has allowed both digital and analogue broadcasting systems to operate particularly in areas where there is inadequate availability of decoders. Nevertheless, he was optimistic that TCRA will beat the deadline by far. Most African countries are supposed to migrate to digital broadcasting system by June, 2015 and Tanzania is likely going to be among the first if not the first to succeed in the migration exercise, he said. According to the official, many African countries are flocking to the country to learn how Tanzania has managed to migrate from analog to digital broadcasting. He said unlike in the first stages of the exercise when there were many concerns, people are now happy with the migration. Mungy further called on the public to buy the right decoders from authorized dealers and demand receipts. He said it is recommended that a one-year guarantee is given for each decoder. The first phase began in December, 2012 in Dar es Salaam, Dodoma, Tanga, Mwanza, Moshi, Arusha and Mbeya regions up to April, 2013. SOURCE: THE GUARDIAN
